Metheringham
A day of food, stalls and autumn celebration in the heart of Metheringham.
The Village Green · Metheringham
A village gathering to mark the turn of the season
When the hedgerows turn and the evenings draw in, Metheringham comes together for a proper harvest welcome. The Fayre & Feast is a celebration of everything we love about this season — good food shared with neighbours, the work of local makers, and the easy warmth of a community day out.
You'll find stalls brimming with handmade and home-grown things, the smell of street food drifting across the green, music in the air and plenty for little ones to get stuck into. It's the kind of day where you arrive for an hour and somehow lose the whole afternoon.

Getting here
Free park-and-stroll parking is signposted at the recreation ground off Drainside. We're a short walk from Metheringham railway station — please walk, cycle or take the train where you can.
Questions & answers
Entry to the Fayre & Feast is free for everyone. No ticket needed — just turn up. Food, drink and some children's activities are pay-as-you-go on the day, and a few special workshops may have a small charge.
Absolutely — well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome across the green. There's fresh water dotted around, but please keep pups away from the food-prep areas and clear up after them. Assistance dogs are welcome everywhere.
Yes. The green is level and largely grass, with firm pathways between the main stalls, and there are accessible toilets on site. Blue Badge parking is available close to the entrance. If you have any specific access needs, do drop us a line at the email below and we'll do our best to help.
Free signposted parking is available at the recreation ground, a few minutes' walk from the green. Metheringham railway station is close by too, so the train is a lovely car-free option. We'd encourage walking or cycling where you can — village roads get busy on the day.
It's a proper Lincolnshire autumn day, so we go ahead rain or shine! Many stalls are under cover and there are marquees for food, music and shelter. We'd just suggest wellies and a warm coat — half the charm is a brisk autumn day with a hot drink in hand. In the rare case of severe weather, we'll post any changes here and on our social channels.
